IEC 61850 Device Profile Catalog

The Device Profile catalog contains the list of Common Data Classes that are recognized by PcVue, organized as one or more profiles. For example IEC 61850 (Substation) and IEC 61400-25 (Wind Power Plants). The data in the catalog is used to make the link between the value, quality and timestamp attributes of IEC 61850 data objects and the corresponding properties of variables.

The catalog is defined by an XML file named 61850Catalog.Xml. The file can be located in the Bin folder and/or the project's C folder. Device Profiles from both files will appear in the Device Configuration dialog. ClosedShow picture
